Jane Simone - Em Cada Novo Amor (1963)

Continental PPL 12076

About singer Jane Simone's existence I became aware a very short time ago when I received her only career album from Edson Mendes.
Beside her music and covers, inside the package was also a short text about her written by Edson who correctly assumed that Jane must be completely unknown to me:

"Jane Simone is the stage name of Janes Sereno Lopes.
Born in Cataguases (MG), she moved to Rio de Janeiro She was a host of radio programs, poetess and author of a book called "Cantada Feminina". She was also a singer and songwriter, with the album "Em Cada Novo Amor", her only LP, released by Continental in 1963. Jane Simone passed away in 2014."

Hi Milan, I also never heard of Jane Simone, so it was a real surprise, this is a very nice album with great Bossa tracks. Thank you Milan and Edson Mendes for the clean rip. It is good to see some compositions from the underrated Bossa composer Normando Santos, who belongs to the original Bossa-crowd, but later went to live in Paris. I looked for his own Odeon comapacto ( "Eu te amo" (c/ Geraldo Casé), "Canção do sem você" (c/ Ronaldo Bôscoli) e "Castelinho" (c/ Billy Blanco) for years now. Can anybody help?
